Swanton Morley, East of England • England
A few miles north-east of Dereham, Swanton Morley is a Norfolk village in the East of England, in the NR postcode area, with the A47 running past to the south. Crews working across mid Norfolk base up here for the sensible house prices, the quiet and the quick run to Norwich or King's Lynn. KrewBase arranges whole serviced houses and flats around Swanton Morley, keeps all the bills in our name, and bills your company once a month.
Swanton Morley spreads along its lanes — village cottages, a core of post-war council semis, and newer houses towards the Dereham road. For a full crew we usually look at the semis and the modern edges, where a drive and a garage are normal and a five-bed house isn't a fantasy. Village-centre cottages suit pairs and small gangs better than big ones. As always we check parking against your vehicles, count real beds, and filter for two bathrooms once the crew passes five.
A long-standing military establishment on the edge of the village brings its own steady demand, and the surrounding area adds housing development, agriculture and food production work. Energy and grid crews cross mid Norfolk regularly, and the A47 corridor keeps logistics and manufacturing moving between Norwich and the coast. It's a spread-out patch, so we never tie a house to one contract — the crew books the house, and the house works wherever next week's site is.
The A47 is five minutes south: Norwich around half an hour east, King's Lynn forty minutes west, and Dereham itself five minutes. The A1067 runs north to Fakenham and the roads beyond it cover the coast-bound sites. The nearest mainline rail is Wymondham, about twenty minutes away on the Norwich–Cambridge line. As with most of Norfolk, we shortlist by drive time measured from the site gate — village-to-village distances here can be deceiving on a map.
The whole property is yours, with council tax, gas, electric, water and broadband in our name. Broadband is speed-tested before check-in, parking is confirmed against the crew's actual vehicles, and crews of five or more get two bathrooms. Cleaning and fresh linen come weekly, maintenance is ours to deal with, and your company receives one monthly invoice, paid by card. No booking fees, no minimum stay, and nothing for the crew to top up mid-month.
Send us the requirement — town, dates, headcount, vehicles and any shift pattern we should know about. We come back within 2 hours with a shortlist from property we already hold, not a search we have just started. You pick, we confirm, the crew moves in, and we stay on it for the length of the job. One monthly invoice, card payment for limited companies, no booking fees.
Within two working hours of receiving the site address, headcount and vehicles. You'll get whole properties that already pass our checks on parking, bed layout and bathrooms — so the decision is which house suits the crew best, not whether the advert was telling the truth.
Dereham, Swanton Morley itself, Mattishall, North Elmham and out towards Fakenham, Norwich and King's Lynn depending on the site. We build the shortlist on measured drive time from the gate, because the shortest line on the map is rarely the fastest road in Norfolk.
It's a hard filter, verified before you book. We match the drive or garage to the vehicles you list — transits, pick-ups and cars — and only offer houses that hold them all off the street. Crews on early starts shouldn't begin the day shuffling motors.
All the domestic ones: council tax, gas, electric, water and broadband, in our name and inside the monthly rate. Wi-Fi is speed-tested before check-in. Crews bring food and personal kit; everything that keeps the house running is already covered by the invoice.
Yes — one invoice a month paid by card covering rent, bills, broadband, cleaning and linen. We add PO references or cost-centre lines once at setup and they carry through. No booking fees, no card payments from the crew, no end-of-month receipt chase.
Past a fortnight the sums favour a house by a wide margin, and a house also gives the crew a kitchen, a washing machine, parking on the door and space to decompress after shifts. Hotels this side of Norwich are thin on the ground anyway — and thin-walled when you find them.
